Steve Benson cartoon caption contest: Write yours! (Oct. 5)

Oct. 5, 2012 05:48 PMThe Arizona Republic

Want a little caption action? Then let's tag-team. Every Saturday, I'll draw the 'toon and you write the captions. If Republic editors choose your entry as a finalist, it will be published the following Saturday in the newspaper. The winner's caption will be inked into the cartoon and appear that same day.

The winner will also get a signed copy of our dynamic doodle. Other cartoonists across the country tell me this is wildly popular with their readers. So here's your chance. You hate my cartoons? Show the world you can do better. Make a cannonball into my inkwell and let's get you splashed on the pages of The Arizona Republic.

Looking forward to seeing what you can do,

Steve Benson
